Help me with scripts

Hello!
I know it sounds dumb but I need scripts for controlling hardware on EeePC and some basic explanation how did they work. I'm aware of fewt, marx and El Murato, but I don't need the whole house, just these part controlling the hardware from the command line.
When I try
(sudo) echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera
it gives me Permission error. All I need is to toggle bluetooth, wifi, cardreader and camera manually...
Thanks!
((sudo) refers to with or without sudo)

Re: Help me with scripts

I have prepared a collection of scripts (for 1000HE), with detailed instructions (in italian) for installing.
Link: http://rapidshare.com/files/299248874/S … mic.tar.gz

P.S.: the scripts are not mine!

Re: Help me with scripts

To solve your specific problem you can

Code:

sudo su
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera

or

Code:

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera

Re: Help me with scripts

Everything is fine except bluetooth & wlan control missing. I think I make bt working with a bit tweaking of elmurato scripts (can't tell actually), but wlan control causes big crash with cold reboot afterward. Anybody knows a solution?

Re: Help me with scripts

wlan control works otb in almost all eeepc, except for a known bug for ralink cards: cf. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/404626

Solution: install kernel 2.6.32.

We did not create a script for BT, since it can be turned off through the appropriate applet.

EDIT
Same scripts, but with an installer: http://rapidshare.com/files/299361140/K … ar.gz.html or http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OBBHMX8B
